One Way or Another: A Novel by Elizabeth Adler

What begins as a beautiful evening at a party on a yacht ends with attempted murder…and a quest for revenge. Ellen never expected a dream vacation to turn so ugly. One moment she was standing on the deck of a fifty-foot yacht and then next, she felt a burning sting in her side. A stab wound. And then a push. She is in the water. She can see people on the yacht, but they have not noticed she is gone, and all seem to have deliberately turned their backs, as the yacht begins slowly to pull away from her. The waves wash over her, sending her further to doom. These are her friends and one is her love. Each one had a reason for getting rid of her though she would not have put murder on that list. Until now. Revenge burns so deeply inside her she knows she will survive this somehow. She will get them. Each one of them—and there are three men, one woman. She will get them. One way or another. Told with Elizabeth Adler’s trademark attention to luxurious detail of people and places, One Way or Another is a glamorous, twisty novel of vengeance and vindication.

Review:
I was given an ARC of One Way or Another from NetGalley for an honest review so here is my review.
For some reason I could not connect with this book at all. I did not like the characters all much and the plot was okay but not the work that Adler has ever done. For me the book dragged on and had too many people with too many different agendas going on at the same time to really get emerged in the entire book you were too busy bouncing around between characters like a tennis ball. I won't get into plot for spoiler reasons but that was only okay for me as well because it just did not strike me as great.
Unfortunately, I can only give this book three out of five stars.
